Urban environmentalism, which treats air quality as a universal value, has yet to overcome its unacknowledged classism+racism, as Belgrade's social divisions reveal, Ognjen Kojanić (@KojanicOgnjen) reminds us in his #KinCity24 piece: berlinergazette.de/limits-of… #pollution #RomaRacism

We hope you enjoy what we’ve written thus far, as we look forward to continuing to share insights on the growth and development of our unique cooperative model and our care-based approach to language.
Keep tuned!

The @discocoop folks created reward points for reproductive labor. I imagine you’ve already read their paper, but it’s worth a read if you haven’t. Despite being dominated by crypto bros, feminist economics and crypto economics go hand in hand for me.
